A moment later, Han Li and his group arrived at a huge palace located halfway up the mountain. On the plaque of the palace were written the three large characters "Jiu Yuan Pavilion."

"Please, fellow Daoists." The guide invited the Xianshan Sect and his group into the hall.

Jiu Yuan Pavilion did not seem large from the outside, but the space inside was exceptionally open, with a size of a thousand zhang. Obviously, some materials and methods containing the laws of space were used in the construction.

At this moment, several people from other sects had already arrived. Seeing the Xianshan Sect and his group enter, some acquaintances came over to greet them.

Because of his display of great power during the previous competition, some people also took the initiative to chat with Han Li. Fortunately, Han Li already knew the identities of these people and their relationship with "himself," so he was able to handle them with ease.

After half an hour, all twelve of the sects that had stood out had arrived, but the people from the other sects did not appear.

After another moment, a series of bell and chime sounds echoed above the main hall.

Everyone in the hall immediately stood up respectfully. Feng Tian Xian Shi, Chun Jun Zhenren, Lu Chuanfeng, Huo Yuan, Tian Xing Zunzhe and others walked out from the back hall.

Behind Chun Jun Zhenren were several Jiu Yuan Guan elders, but Chi Meng did not come, which made Han Li secretly relieved.

"Greetings to Feng Tian Xian Shi! Guan Master Chun Jun!" Everyone in the hall saluted together.

"No need to be so polite. Without further ado, the reason I invited you here today is to award the Bodhi Tokens. Those who won the previous competition, please come forward." Chun Jun Zhenren said with a smile.

Han Li and the other twelve people walked out from the crowd of their respective sects and stood in front of Chun Jun Zhenren and Feng Tian Xian Shi, in a row.

Chun Jun Zhenren stepped aside, and Feng Tian Xian Shi stepped forward, cupped his fist, and saluted towards the void, raising his voice: "Respectfully request the Bodhi Tokens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light emerged from the void, and a square golden treasure box appeared.

Feng Tian Xian Shi saluted towards the treasure box, and then cast a spell. The treasure box automatically opened, and inside were twelve ancient golden tokens, emitting a unique aura, as if they contained some kind of strange energy.

When the people in the hall saw the twelve tokens, their faces showed excitement.

Han Li's gaze only swept over the twelve tokens. Although he also showed some excitement on his face, he did not care much about these tokens that were coveted by many high-level cultivators in the Da Jin Yuan Immortal Territory.

His purpose here was more for Jin Tong. Now that he was only one step away from completing the Reincarnation Palace's mission, after this matter was over, he would obtain the clues about Jin Tong and start considering how to carry out the rescue operation.

For his current cultivation strength, Jiu Yuan Guan was no different from a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. It was definitely impossible to break in by force. The most ideal situation would be to take advantage of the Reincarnation Palace's actions and muddle through.

But to this day, he still did not understand the purpose of the Reincarnation Palace's actions, and he did not know if there would be any good opportunities for him to take advantage of.

However, since he was already here, he would naturally take it one step at a time.

Just as Han Li's thoughts were racing, Feng Tian Xian Shi cast a spell, and the twelve tokens flew out of the treasure box and landed in the hands of Han Li and others respectively.

Han Li received the token with one hand, and his heart stirred slightly.

The token was extremely heavy in his hand, and he did not know what kind of heavenly material or earthly treasure it was cast from. Moreover, it was icy cold to the touch. When he approached it, he could feel a unique energy contained within it.

"The Bodhi Token is personally refined by the Supreme Master. With this token, you can participate in the Bodhi Banquet held this time. Please keep it safe." Feng Tian Xian Shi said slowly.

Han Li was about to investigate the situation inside the token when he heard that it was personally refined by the Time Dao Ancestor, and he hurriedly stopped his movements, even having the urge to throw it away immediately.

"This year's Bodhi Banquet will still be held in the Yaochi Shengjing. With this token, you can bring three people into the venue. As for what you can gain at the Bodhi Banquet, it depends on your opportunities." Feng Tian Xian Shi continued, and then drifted back to the side.

"Roar..."

At this moment, a sudden beast roar came from a very distant place outside.

The expressions of the elders in the Jiu Yuan Pavilion suddenly changed, but Chun Jun Zhenren only frowned slightly and cast an inquiring look at a short, fat, long-bearded elder beside him.

The latter then closed his eyes and placed two fingers together on his forehead, reciting in his mouth.

Han Li saw circles of golden light rippling open at the center of his brows, and a strong wave of divine consciousness immediately came out of it, seemingly a special method of divine consciousness transmission.

After a moment, he suddenly withdrew his fingers and opened his eyes suddenly, saying:

"I don't know what went wrong in the spirit beast mountain's beast pen. The town mountain ancestor beast, the Emerald-Eyed Qilin, was startled, went berserk, directly destroyed the beast pen, and is rampaging across the mountain."

"The Emerald-Eyed Qilin is a Daluo-level town mountain spirit beast. It has always been docile and gentle. How could it suddenly go berserk? Where is Elder Shan Yang? Hasn't this beast always been specially cared for by him?" Chun Jun Zhenren asked in a calm tone.

Judging from his expression, he did not seem to think this was a big deal, just asking, without any intention of blaming.

"Reporting to the Guan Master, earlier, a fierce beast comparable to the early Taiyi stage appeared in the lower realm, the Mountain Source Realm, causing great harm. No one in the Mountain Source Realm can subdue it. Elder Shan Yang went to the lower realm to subdue this beast and has not returned yet." The short, fat elder replied respectfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, the noise outside became even louder. The roars of various spirit beasts and the cries of strange birds rose and fell one after another. Although it was very far away, it was still endless.

After the short, fat elder closed his eyes and inquired, his face showed a bit more nervous expression, saying:

"Guan Master, many beast pens in the spirit beast mountain have been destroyed by the Emerald-Eyed Qilin. More than seventy spirit beasts have escaped and gone berserk. Many have already rushed out of the spirit beast mountain with their natal divine powers. Two of them have rushed into the Jiahe Garden. Fortunately, Elder Murong blocked them, otherwise, the immortal plants and spirit herbs would have suffered heavy losses."

"Today, the Guan is entertaining distinguished guests. We must not be negligent and abrupt to the guests because of this. Send a message to let Senior Brother Lei Jun handle it personally." Chun Jun Zhenren thought for a moment and ordered.

"Yes." The short, fat elder responded, and then closed his eyes and transmitted the message.

"There is a bit of a situation in the sect. I have made you all laugh." Chun Jun Zhenren turned his gaze to Feng Tian Xian Shi and the others, and smiled.

"It's okay, it's just spirit beasts escaping. Just catch them back." Feng Tian Xian Shi said casually, not taking it to heart.

"It doesn't matter..." Tian Xing Zunzhe and the others also said with a smile.

As for the twelve sect members who came to receive the Bodhi Tokens, they naturally did not dare to say anything, and could only accompany them with a smile at the bottom.

Just when everyone felt that the ceremony was over and they could leave this place immediately, another "boom" rang out outside the Jiu Yuan Pavilion, and the entire hall shook violently.

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of booming explosions.

The sound was far away from here, but the momentum was not small, and it did not sound like it was caused by spirit beasts.

"What's going on?" Chun Jun Zhenren's expression finally changed, and he asked.

The short, fat elder once again used the divine consciousness secret technique to investigate, but he did not speak directly, but transmitted the sound to Chun Jun Zhenren.

The latter's face became slightly condensed as he listened, and a trace of anger finally appeared between his brows.

"Feng Tian Xian Shi, Fellow Daoist Huo, Palace Master Lu, Fellow Daoist Tian Xing, there are some matters in the Guan that I need to handle personally. Please wait here for a moment." Chun Jun Zhenren stood up, made a bow to the few people, and said.

"Since there is something going on in the Guan, then Fellow Daoist Chun Jun can go. We will just have a few more cups of tea here." Huo Yuan stood up and said.

"Fellow Daoist Chun Jun can go, it doesn't matter." The others also stood up and said.

Chun Jun Zhenren stood up, turned his wrist, took out a silver silk whisk, and waved it casually. Layers of silver ripples rippled open in front of him, and a void door that collapsed inward appeared in the void.

Han Li saw it in his eyes, but his heart moved. Chun Jun Zhenren did not cultivate the laws of space. Now that he could open up the silver light space door, it could be seen that the whisk in his hand must be a rare space immortal artifact.

"Elder Yu, you are here to entertain the distinguished guests. I will be back soon." Chun Jun Zhenren instructed the short, fat elder.

After that, his figure retreated backward and disappeared directly into the silver ripples.

Feng Tian Xian Shi and the others sat back and sipped and drank lightly, occasionally exchanging a few words. Zhou Xianyang and the other twelve sect members looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry. Guan Master Zhenren will be back soon. You can wait here peacefully for a moment." The short, fat elder saw this and said comfortingly.

The twelve sect members naturally did not dare to have any objections, and could only sit down obediently, waiting for everything to settle down.

After about a cup of tea's time, the departed Chun Jun Zhenren still did not return.

"Is the movement outside an operation over there?" Han Li approached Zhou Xianyang and asked through voice transmission.

"Our task is only to obtain the Bodhi Token. We don't know anything else, and we don't care about anything else." Zhou Xianyang replied through voice transmission.

Han Li heard this and knew that he could not get any information out of him, so he did not say anything more.

But at this moment, a loud "boom" shattered the peace in the Jiu Yuan Pavilion.

The entire hall shook violently with this boom, and the furnishings in the room were overturned and scattered all over the floor.

Many people were affected by the shock, and some were unable to stand firmly.

"What's going on..." Zi Luo Xianzi of Tianyou Lake's expression changed slightly, and she asked.

The expressions of the others also changed slightly. Almost all of them sensed how powerful the previous explosion was. What made them even more apprehensive was that this explosion was not far away, but directly from near the Jiu Yuan Pavilion.

Han Li swept his gaze and saw that there was a layer of golden light emerging on the surrounding ground, walls, and even the roof. Inside, there were layers of extremely complex rune arrays, which were obviously very high-level forbidden arrays.

"Everyone, rest assured, this Jiu Yuan Pavilion is an important place in our sect, and it is protected by an independent forbidden array. Even if a Daluo mid-stage cultivator wants to break it, it is not easy, let alone be injured by the escaped spirit beasts." Elder Yu said quickly.

"Boom"

As soon as he finished speaking, an even more violent explosion sounded, and the entire Jiu Yuan Pavilion shook violently again.

The golden rune arrays that enveloped the hall also trembled violently, and the surface suddenly glowed with golden light, stabilizing the almost collapsed hall.

At this point, everyone realized that something was wrong, and some even showed some panic.

Only Feng Tian Xian Shi and the others remained as stable as Mount Tai, seemingly not caring much about the situation in front of them, still chatting leisurely, as if everything that was happening outside had nothing to do with them.
